    What an amazing experience seeing the Southern Right Whales at Hermanus, so peaceful in their natural environment. Followed by a beautiful winery experience tasting the local wines paired with cheeses and topped off with a visit to see the African penguins. Thank you to our guide Seifu who enlightened us on the Cape Town area and surrounds. Recommended to all!
